To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JAMES BRAMBLE MOONEY, acitizen of the United States, re-

7 siding at Goldwater, in the county of Coeither to the animal or theperson dosing the same. v p

The further object of my invention is the provision of an improveddurable drench-- ing bottle which shall have the neck thereof soconstructed as totend to stimulate the nerves of the animal in suchmanner as to cause the animal to readily swallow the medicine beingpoured from the bottle into its mouth. W Other objects and advantages ofmy improved drenching bottle will be readily apparent by referenceto'the' following description taken in connection withthe accompanyingdrawings, and it will be understood that Imay make any modifications inthe specific structure shown and described within the scope of my claimwithout .departing from or exceeding the spirit of my invention. I

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved bottle. Fig. 2represents a vertical sectional view thereof, and Fig. 3 represents afragmentarytop plan view, of the same.

In the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the base of my bottle which isformed of heavy glass and has the reduced threaded male portion 2adapted to fit into the interiorly threaded bell 3 of the upper metallicsection 4 of. my improved drenching bottle. Said upper section 4 has areduced neck 5 for discharging'the contents of the bottle, the neck 5being formed with taperv ing ribs or corrugations 6 adjacent thedischarge mouth thereof, The neck is further provided with a series ofbeads 5, the same being separated from the corrugations 6 by 1 anannular flange'6.

In order to insure a tight non-leaking joint between the sections 1 and4, I preferably inter ose between the shoulder of the base 1 an gasketor rubber ring 7 similar to, a fruit jar ring, while the threads 2 maybe treated with white lead, cement or other suitable substance to aid inmaking a water tight joint between the two sections of the bottle.

The object of the beads 5' and corrugations 6 at the upper end of theneck is to slightly irritate the tongue of an animal when my device isplaced in its mofith. This irritation is caused by the ribs merelyresting on the tongue of the animal or acoentuated by slightly twistingthe bottle and will tend to cause the animal to-swallow and willconsequently facilitate the pouring of medicine from the bottle From theforegoing description taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawings, the construction of my improved drenching bottle will bereadily understood and it will be seen that I have provided an improvedbottle of this character in which the upper portion is formed of a metalwhich will prevent breakage in the event of the animals closingfitsmouth thereon and which neck is formed with portions for causing aslight irritation'of the tongue of the animal tol stimulate thedesire'to swallow andthus increase the efficiency of my bottle.

neck, an annular flange formed upon said neck, an annular series ofdownwardly ta pered corrugations formed integral with the flange andneck, and below the former, and a circular series of beads formedintegral with the upper surface of the flange and upper edgeof the neck.
